"Flowter Feast" (A collaborative piece done with @TananeWhitfield on the beautiful @innakg)....... Every year towards the end of October when the temperature begins to fall I notice that the #Flowters start to migrate towards #Terrobella. They seem to be attracted to these floating seeds that Tanane had told me about a couple months back. Apparently it's some sort of pollination period.This pollination period attracts a variety of different species from all over the South Eastern side of #Carkayous , but the Flowters typically show up in swarms . I've been studying Flowters for some time now and I'm still completely confused as to how exactly they came to be. Most of the time they consist of at least two individual creatures working symbiotically to survive. There's always one that controls the buoyancy of the overall group and then another one that is draped over the buoyant one to help stabilize it as well as help it gather food (the buoyant of the two typically doesn't have any appendages). Sometimes you'll see bunches of them all crammed together helping one another to survive.Unfortunately for them, the pollination period lures them into a part of Terrobella that is swarming with these carnivorous frogs. They apparently love the flavor of Flowters and always look forward to this time of year. Although thinning of the overall population of Flowters is necessary, it's still very difficult for me to watch. — at Loose Screw Tattoo.

I'm really lucky to have been able to meet a lot of artists who I respect and admire over the years. A great deal of them I now call friends. This is a quick glimpse at a decent size portion of my private art collection. Me owning a gallery is like a crack dealer that smokes crack. I probably spend more money then I actually make;). If u recognize any of the artists, tag them!
